In this article I want to share 5 exercises to help men reduce their waist size. If you're a man who wants to have a slimmer waistline, do these exercises and, as long as you also keep a healthy diet, you will see results fast.
Here are the 5 waist exercises
1. Exercise ball side crunch - This is a great exercise that you can easily do at home. All you need is an affordable stability ball. To do this waist exercise just lie on your side on a stability ball with both feet on the ground. Place the tips of your fingers behind your ears and make sure you're as stable as possible.
The movement is to simply lift your upper body from the ball and crunch your waist. Bend your upper body into your waist. This is a powerful waist reducing exercise for men.
2. Side bends - Stand straight with your feet slightly apart. Place one hand on your waist. The other hand should be straight at your side. Bend to the side of the straight hand with it leading the way down your leg. Don't tilt your hips or bend your body forward, only to the side. You can hold a dumbbell in the straight hand for extra intensity.
3. Windshield Wipers - Here's an exercise that works your waist and your abs together. Lie on the floor with both legs straight and up in the air at a 90 degree angle to your body. Make sure that your head and neck are firmly on the floor. To do the exercise, just let both legs fall to one side in a straight line. Make sure that before your legs get to the floor, that you stop them by using your waist muscles. Raise both legs to their starting position and repeat the motion on the other side.
4. Bicycle crunches - This is a formidable abs and waist exercise. You lie on the floor with your hands behind your head. One leg should be straight and one should be bent. Both legs should be a few inches in the air. Bring the opposite elbow to the bent knee. To do the exercise simply rotate sides: straighten the bent leg and bend the other one. Always bring the opposite elbow to the bent knee.
5. Side to side lifts - sit on the floor with your legs straight. Hold yourself in position with your abs. Take a dumbbell and place it at your right side. Turn with your upper body only and pick up the dumbbell. Make sure it requires you to really twist to get it. Turn to your left and place the dumbbell there. Then, pick it up again and move it to the right. Repeat until you feel fatigued.
Do these 5 waist exercises for men and reduce your waist size.

Waxman Wins, Dingell out as Energy and Commerce Chair
Evie previewed it this morning, and now the verdict is in on Waxman vs. Dingell. House Democrats voted 137-122 in favor of giving California Rep. Henry Waxman the chairmanship of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Michigan's John Dingell, the top Democrat on the powerful committee for the past 28 years, will hand over the reins when the 111th Congress convenes in January. Dingell's defeat is seen by some as a blow to the bailout hopes of the "Big Three" who have often counted on the 27-term (soon to be 28-term) Michigan Congressman to defend their interests. The move also strikes a blow to the seniority system in the House.
There's no doubt Waxman, who has been the top Democrat on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform since 1997, has what it takes to run a hearing room. Now we'll get to see if he plans to give Ford, GM, and Chrysler the Roger Clemens treatment.

Five Rules for Hunting Profits in "Penny Stocks"
Spend any time around blue-blooded Wall Street types and I guarantee you this – they'll never share a hot tip on a "penny stock" – a stock trading for under $5.
Why not? For starters, mutual fund managers are prohibited from investing in stocks with such tiny sticker prices. So they don't even bother researching them.
Likewise, sell-side analysts shun them. Even if they wrote an overly hyped research report, there's just not enough investment banking business to earn from these small companies to make it worthwhile.
Oh, and high-flying hedge fund managers are, well, too rich to own them. With billions in capital to throw around, they can't buy and sell such penny stocks without radically influencing market prices.
All that being said, I'm shouting from the rooftops this month that…
"There's a fortune to be minted trading penny stocks!"
The Proof is in the Profits…
If you're skeptical about investing in penny stocks, consider ION Geophysical (NYSE: IO).
I first recommended the provider of seismic imaging for the oil and gas industry at a bargain-basement price of $4 per share – when Wall Street wouldn't dare pay it any attention. Now the stock trades for close to $13, which translates to a 220% gain (and counting).
I think we can all agree a 220% gain makes penny stocks worth a closer look.
Five Rules for Trading "Penny" Stocks
Before you go crying foul and say I cherry-picked an example to only highlight the upside of penny stocks, let me warn you. Penny stocks can tank just as easily, too. After all, just because a stock is cheap doesn't mean it will soar. It could get cheaper still.
That's exactly why I recommend you adhere to the following five rules when investing in such a speculative corner of the market.
- Rule #1: Focus on fundamentals. A cheap stock price is no reason to abandon sound financial analysis. Be picky when investing in penny stocks and insist on finding companies with solid and improving fundamentals.
- Rule #2: Limit your investments to $1,000 or less. By making small bets on penny stocks, you can limit your downside risk and ensure a total loss won't torpedo your entire portfolio. If you want to wager slightly more, that's up to you. But don't wager too much more, or else you'll undermine any efforts to reduce risk.
- Rule #3: Cut your losers quickly. When it comes to penny stocks, "buy and hope" is not an investment strategy. We're after fast gains. So don't expect to hold any penny stocks for more than three to six months, unless prices are heading steadily higher. Either these companies pay off quickly, or they don't. If it's the latter, sell and move onto a better opportunity.
- Rule #4: Use limit orders. Most penny stocks sport lower-than-average trading volumes. If we use market orders we'll ending paying more, which ultimately cuts into our profit potential. Instead use limit orders to buy penny stocks. And be patient. Penny stocks are notoriously volatile, which means you should never have to chase prices. Eventually a dip in prices will materialize.
- Rule #5: There's No Crying in Baseball. When investing in such a speculative area of the market, you're bound to invest in a few duds. It happens. So expect it. As long as you're only investing money you can afford to lose, and limit your bets to small amounts (see Rule #1), there's no reason to shed a tear.
In the end, if you follow these five rules, your winners should far outshine your losers making hunting profits in penny stocks a worthwhile endeavor indeed.

This isn't a pairs trade! It's simply two separate long only investments in the real estate sector. If you believe otherwise, then show us the negative correlation between the two.

Hi persons, places and things! After one busy week off, I'm throwing you a rare, shambling orphan episode! It's been like six months since I've done this, but I bring you one more guestless episode, in honor of what I thought was the year anniversary of the show.
I'm in the process of a move, and admittedly, have been very spotty at getting episodes of the show done. This might continue through to October, but please bear with me as I slowly right the ship. We will be sailing ahead at full steam as Fall comes upon us.
For now, enjoy and stuff.

Palm oil, a common ingredient in foods and cosmetics, is used in everything from cookies and microwave popcorn to lipstick and soap. Palm oil is also converted to biofuel, an alternative to fossil fuels. Sadly, endangered ecosystems are sacrificed for development of oil palm plantations.
The Bad News
• Demand for palm oil, grown on sprawling plantations, is the most significant cause of rainforest deforestation in Malaysia and Indonesia, according to Friends of the Earth. • In Indonesia, the land occupied by palm oil plantations has doubled in 10 years. This threatens habitat for endangered species, including the orangutan, Sumatran tiger, Asian elephant and Sumatran rhino. The palm oil industry could be a major factor in driving the orangutan to extinction. • Plantations pollute soil and water with pesticides, and oil mill effluent contributes to soil erosion and river sedimentation.
The Good News
• Other oils—olive, sunflower, canola—can be substituted for palm oil. • Oil palms can be grown sustainably, without harming the environment or cutting trees. The palms can flourish in rehabilitated agricultural areas or land that's already been degraded. Also, smaller farms are less disruptive of animal migration patterns. • Take action by avoiding palm oil in the food and cosmetics you buy. Let your supermarket or retailer know about your boycott. • Support companies that are part of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil Production, cofounded by the World Wildlife Fund. Members include IKEA, Johnson & Johnson, Nestlé, The Body Shop and Unilever.

by James Slater - As we now know, WBA heavyweight champion David Haye's next fight will not be against Wladimir Klitschko, the Ring magazine, IBF, WBO, IBO ruler; because "Dr Steel Hammer" is to defend against his IBF mandatory, Alexander Povetkin in September. It seems, then, that the long talks Team-Haye had with Team-Klitschko, came to nothing - regarding Haye fighting Wladimir any time soon, anyway. But with The recognised #1 big man in the world now busy until some time next year, is there a chance Haye will fight the recognised #2 big man in the world, Vitali Klitschko? The chances of this fight taking place any time soon are also slim, seeing as how Vitali and his group are (or were) in talks with Nikolai Valuev and his main man Don King, about the possibility of the two giants getting it on.. So, if this fight happens, or if "Dr. Iron Fist" takes on someone else instead in his next fight, the question becomes: just WHO will Haye face next? Before you scream out the name of Audley Harrison, it must be remembered that Haye was quoted by a certain publication, only last week, as saying it was news to him he was taking on "A-Force" next. Haye even went as far as to say how amused he was when he read that "one particular web site even had a date for the fight!" Haye went on to say that he is not interested in a fight with Harrison, and that Harrison was merely trying to get some free publicity. So, again, who will Haye fight next, now that both Klitschkos appear "unavailable" and Harrison is not deemed a worthy enough challenger (still, I wouldn't be surprised if Haye-Harrison DID take place, just as the rumours persist to tell us will be the case - easy money for Haye and all that)? It's already been a few hours short of three months since Haye's last fight, the dominant 9th-round stoppage of a game John Ruiz; yet fans are still in the dark as to who "The Hayemaker" will make his second title defence against. Haye himself has said he will retire from boxing "before he turns 31," and that he will have to be "very careful" when deciding who he will fight in his remaining year-and-a-bit. Haye says he wants to leave as much of a mark on boxing as he can, and that he only wants meaningful fights. But looking at the current heavyweight top-ten as written by "The Bible of Boxing," Ring magazine, there aren't a whole lot of meaningful fights out there for Haye - minus the two Klitschkos, of course. #3 Povetkin is out for obvious reasons, #4 Tomasz Adamek is busy with his upcoming fight with Michael Grant, #6 Eddie Chambers has yet to be seen after being KO'd by the younger of the two Klitschkos, #7 Denis Boystov is still too green, #8 Nikolai Valuev may well face Vitali next (and who really wants to see Haye-Valuev II anyway!), #9 Alexander Dimitrenko is all set to box for the vacant European title and #10 Chris Arreola has a pencilled in August date on ESPN. That leaves just #5 Ruslan Chagaev as a possible, credible challenger for Haye. Could it be, that the former holder of the WBA strap Haye now holds will soon get the chance to fight to regain it? Unless Haye either faces a fighter who is unranked by Ring, or unless he does actually take that risky (in the sense of hurting his reputation) fight with Harrison, I can se no-one else but the man from Uzbekistan. Or perhaps Haye will surprise us all and not fight again at all until next year. Now there's a thought! The WBA heavyweight champion, or someone from his team, will hopefully put us straight by announcing something, ANYTHING - soon.

An international group of scientists led by researchers from the University of California in Santa Barbar have taken the first steps toward creating a quantum computer — in a diamond. So far they've built a two-qubit unit for a quantum computer. A qubit is the quantum computing equivalent of a bit, and it can be both on and off at the same time, unlike a regular bit which must be in one state or the other. The electron spin precesses extremely fast in a magnetic field, while the nuclear spin is about 1,000 times slower.

Elite Team Is Oilers' Owner Goal
by Paul on 06/27/08 at 09:08 AM ET
Comments (0)
from David Staples of the Edmonton Journal,
Katz said he wants to do something special with the Oilers. Boiled down, he said, his mission is for the Oilers to be an "elite team at the heart of the city."
"I think the city deserves it, and now is the right time. And I think the Oilers franchise deserves it. This is one of the most storied franchises in the league. This team deserves to be an elite team."
Dressed in jeans and a track-suit top, Katz took time out from his deal-making to sit down for an interview in his riverbank mansion overlooking Hawrelak Park.

Stoll's Uncertain Future

From Robert Tychkowski in the Edmonton Sun, these words from Edmonton Oiler, Jarret Stoll:
"It would be nice to know for sure, one way or another, what's going to happen," said the 26-year-old centre, who made it through the draft without being dealt but knows there's still a long way to go between now and when the Oilers open camp in September.
"You hope a team wants you. If it's Edmonton, that's great, that's what I want. But if it's not, then you move on.
"I don't know what's going to happen and that's kind of the thing that, if anything, bothers me. Not knowing. It can be a little nerve-racking."

Be Like Mike (Ilitch)
by Paul on 06/14/08 at 09:21 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Bob Stouffer of the Edmonton Sun,
Daryl Katz will officially become the new owner of the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday.
If Katz is looking for an owner and an organization after which to model the Oilers, he should look no further than Mike Ilitch and the Detroit Red Wings.
With their fourth Stanley Cup victory in the last 11 seasons to complement seven straight seasons with 48+ wins, it goes without saying that the Red Wings are far and away the best organization in the NHL.

Why One Fan Spent $272,829 on Oilers Memorabilia
by Alanah McGinley on 06/13/08 at 11:38 AM ET
Comments (0)
From Terry Jones of Sun Media, some words from the anonymous fan that bought Peter Pocklington's hockey memoribilia earlier this week:
"I'm somebody from Oiler Country who bought them because I think they belong in this area and because it takes me back to my childhood watching the Oilers have all that success in the 1980s.
"I think there are only six people who had all five rings, Pocklington, Glen Sather, Mark Messier, Kevin Lowe, Jari Kurri and Randy Gregg. I might be wrong about that. I was just trying to figure that out myself. I'm sure there are others in the organization.
"But Pocklington brought Wayne Gretzky to Edmonton. He also sold him but he brought Gretzky here for the best years in his career and I was able to watch him those years as a kid when my dad took me into Edmonton for the games.
Looking back, I consider Gretzky to have been very instrumental in my life."

Pocklington Not Really the Sentimental Type
by Alanah McGinley on 06/11/08 at 02:25 PM ET
Comments (0)
via the CBC,
Peter Pocklington, who once sold Wayne Gretzky to the Los Angeles Kings, held an online garage sale this week that netted the former Edmonton Oilers owner a cool $294,269 US.
The items included five Stanley Cup championship rings from the Oilers' amazing run in the 1980s, plus three Edmonton Trappers title rings dating from when Pocklington owned the Pacific Coast League baseball team.
In addition, there were miniature replicas of the Stanley Cup and Clarence Campbell Bowl (Western Conference championship) trophies. A number of smaller items such as photographs were also up for bid.

The Trouble with Pitkanen
by Alanah McGinley on 06/01/08 at 01:15 PM ET
Comments (0)
From the Edmonton Journal,
"I think he can be a star ... you can see the potential he has, the icetime he gets. He never wants to come off, and the way he can skate," said Oilers assistant coach Charlie Huddy, who looks after the blue-liners. "I think he's only scratched the surface. His offence will come ... the creativity will come out. You'd like to see him take the puck to the net more, the way he can skate."
That's the rub with Pitkanen. He doesn't get nearly enough points for his ability, although he did have 43 twice in Philadelphia. He had a meagre 26 last season here, albeit in only 63 games because he had a bad knee and sundry other smaller ailments. That put him in a tie for 50th amongst defencemen with David Johnny Oduya in New Jersey and James Wisniewski in Chicago. Hal Gill, who would lose a race with the Zamboni, had 24 points, if you're counting. Pitkanen should be a 55-60-point defenceman, but he's not. He might also be a shutdown defenceman because he can close people off with his skating but those sort of guys often have a physical edge to their game. Pitkanen doesn't.

Reflecting on the Dustin Penner Deal
by Alanah McGinley on 05/08/08 at 01:10 PM ET
Comments (0)
From Robert Tychkowski at the Edmonton Sun,
Much ado, it turns out, about nothing.
"It's just so typical of how people jump to conclusions," Edmonton's general manager said yesterday in a telephone interview from the World Championships.
Lowe took enormous heat at the time of the deal, and was forced to defend himself during every subsequent attack from Burke.
Now that the draft order is complete (except for 27, 28, 29 and 30, depending on how the final four play out), and the evidence is there in black and white, there has to be a sense of vindication. Unfortunately there's no undoing the bad blood and the black mark the the feud left on Burke, Lowe and the NHL.
Update 12:18pm ET: More on the adventures of Penner, Lowe, Burke & Co. from David Staples in the Edmonton Journal today.

Southwest Deviled Eggs
Deviled Eggs remind me of the 70's. I just seem to remember these being THE appetizer at parties and cookouts that my family attended when I was a kid. What I remember most is that Tupperware Deviled Egg Keeper. It was a handy little thing. The egg keeper came in various colors-yellow, orange, green, etc. There was a sturdy hard plastic base. The inside held two removable trays that would cradle your precious little deviled eggs whenever you were on the go. And lets not forget about the trend setting opaque "burping" lid!
I ate lots of deviled eggs in the 70's and the 80's (my formative years). I didn't eat them that much in the 90's. Deviled eggs aren't big with the college crowd. Thank heavens I have rediscovered these protein packed powerhouses in the new millennium. I absolutely love eating them, but I've never made them. I always assumed deviled eggs were lots of work. I was wrong.
Deviled eggs are not only insanely easy to make, but they are incredibly versatile. You can combine the yolks with almost anything and the end result will be delicious! Take the eggs in these pictures. I combined my yolks with guacamole. Weird? No, perfect! The avocado replaces the mayonnaise you normally use for deviled eggs. And contrary to what you might be thinking, the taste of the avocado does not overpower the egg-and the egg does NOT overpower the avocado either! The cumin, lime juice, tomatoes, avocados and egg yolks blend together and sing to you in perfect unison! The jalapeno slices add a spicy contrasting crunch and the Queso Fesco freshly pulls it all together.

Product Information
- Sky Scrapers from Aeromax
- We recommend this product for ages 9 and up
What It Is
Sky Scrapers is a flying toy that sends disks flying more than 100 feet in the air. Each Sky Scraper comes with three plastic orange disks. Just snap a disk onto the launcher, and then pull back on the handle and let go to send the disk flying. The harder you pull back, the higher the disk will fly.
Is It Fun?
Sky Scrapers is easy for kids to use, and they'll like the height and distance they get when launching the disks. And because kids will be chasing after the disks, this is a great toy to get kids active outdoors. It's a lot of classic play for a very reasonable price.
Who It's For
Sky Scrapers are for ages 9 and up.
What To Be Aware Of
For maximum flying performance, use Sky Scrapers in a wide open space.
It is intended that you launch the disks with the launcher held straight up and down. However, if you hold the launcher at an angle, you will still be able to launch the disks. Make sure you take note of your surroundings, and don't launch the disks at people or animals.
You can also purchase Sky Scrapers Glow Disks that glow in the dark. A set of six is sold separately for about $4.50.

The role of short and long range surface plasmons for plasmonic focusing applications
Optics Express, Vol. 17, Issue 16, pp. 14270-14280 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (519 KB)
We propose and analyze a new plasmonic lens allowing the simultaneous focusing of both short and long range surface plasmons polaritons. The considered geometry is circularly symmetric and the SPP excitation is radially polarized. The long range and the short range modes are compared and found to have very different focusing properties. The trade-offs between the modes are discussed. The interplay between these two modes is used to demonstrate a practical focusing scenario providing a smaller spot size compared with previous version of plasmonic lenses, and a large depth of focus simultaneously.

Notes |
Ellen Wolf Schrecker (born August 4, 1938) is an American professor of American history at Yeshiva University. She is currently teaching and has received the Frederick Ewen Academic Freedom Fellowship at the Tamiment Library at NYU.
She is known primarily for her work in the history of McCarthyism. Historian Ronald Radosh has described her as "the dean of the anti-anti-Communist historians."[3]
She graduated magna cum laude from Radcliffe College in 1960 and earned her M.A. in 1962 and her doctorate in 1974, both from Harvard University. She has taught at Harvard, Princeton, New York University, the New School for Social Research, and Columbia. From 1998 to 2002, Schrecker was the editor of Academe, the journal of the American Association of University Professors.[2]
Schrecker's best known book is Many Are the Crimes: McCarthyism in America, published in 1998. Kirkus Reviews wrote of this book, "It is no easy task bringing new life to an era already as dissected as the McCarthy era, yet this is what Schrecker accomplishes in a magnificent study of how and why McCarthyism happened and how its shadow still darkens our lives." In addition to McCarthyism, Schrecker has written on related topics such as political repression, academic freedom and Soviet espionage during the Cold War, as well as on Franco-American relations in the 1920s—the subject of her Ph.D. dissertation—and coauthoring a Chinese cookbook.
Political views[edit]
Schrecker has said that she is "a card-carrying member of the American Civil Liberties Union who undertook the study of McCarthyism precisely because of my opposition to its depredations against freedom of speech," and that "in this country[,] McCarthyism did more damage to the constitution than the American Communist party ever did."[4] Critics have argued that, in making her case, Schrecker has underplayed the undemocratic nature of the Communist Party USA. In a reply to an essay that Schrecker and Maurice Isserman wrote in The Nation in 2000, John Earl Haynes quoted the leader of the UDA, the predecessor of the politically progressive ADA, who stated that "an alliance between liberals and Communists [would] betray liberalism's bedrock democratic values." Characterizing himself as neither "left" nor "right" but anti-"tyranny", Haynes cited as evidence of Schrecker's illiberalism her statement that "cold war liberalism did not, in fact, 'get it right.'"[5] Schrecker has been criticized by Trotskyites for being excessively concerned for the reputations of persons connected with the Stalin-supporting Communist Party USA, noting that the CPUSA supported the US government's prosecution of Trotskyites under the Smith Act and, in general, persecuted socialists who did not support Stalin's regime.[6]
Schrecker has written critically of David Horowitz's "academic bill of rights" manifesto against what he considers a predominant liberal bias in American higher education. She concurred with the ACLU and Amnesty International, the Center for Constitutional Rights, and the American Association of University Professors in condemning the University of South Florida's 2003 dismissal of a tenured faculty member: the Palestinian-born, professor of computer engineering Sami Al-Arian, following his federal indictment during the Bush presidency on charges of raising money for terrorism through his support for Palestinian causes. Schrecker wrote:
Just as charges of communist sympathies in the 1950s destroyed the careers of people who studied China, so today the Arab-Israeli conflict plagues scholars who come from or study the Middle East. Predictably, the first major academic-freedom case to arise after September 11 involved a Palestinian nationalist, the already-controversial University of South Florida professor of computer engineering Sami Al-Arian, suspended and then fired after the federal government charged him with supporting terrorism. His summary dismissal, even if the university were to revisit it in light of his recent acquittal, is a classic violation of academic freedom: It involved his off-campus political activities.[7][8]

Re: Trying another tack... Looking for the right boat near Vancouver, BC.
Putting a True North 34 and a CS 33 on the same wish list just doesn't make sense.. you need to first figure out what kind of boat you want. Have you read the 'full keel vs fin keel' threads? Some homework there so that you can start comparing oranges with oranges.
I'm surprised to see so many CS33s listed locally.. they are usually rare as hens' teeth. While I'd be a bit leery of the low priced one, it's worth a cautious look for sure. If the other one has $10K worth on goodies/features it may be the better long term choice. I like these boats, esp for single or one couple accommodation. They are not well set up for guests. Great reputation for soild build, decent performers. Around here the deep draft is not a problem, but an asset. I'm sure a good, well prepared one will do just fine offshore.
The Aloha 32 is a 'shippy' looking cruiser from a good designer, Mark Ellis, it's essentially a mini Niagara 35, along with the unconventional layout of her big sister. Again a decent single couple's boat, robust long fin and spade rudder at least she'll be able to get out of her own way!
The Niagara 31 is a sleeper performer.. A German Frers design hidden under the cruisey look of the Aloha/Niagara style. Another layout not ideal for many guests, but sounds like that's not going to be a problem for you as a single liveaboard/couple.
Personally I'd be looking at these above rather than the heavy full keeled boats, even for ocean passages, but that's a personal subjective choice. One you need to make before you start to shop....

The U.S.-led invasion and then occupation of Iraq brought a sharp setback to the rights of women in that country, UNFPA head Thoraya Obaid tells IPS in an interview.
The view that Muslim societies are necessarily backward on the position of women arises from stereotyping, she says. And she speaks of herself as a Muslim woman who does not fit the stereotype.

"One million Yemeni children face severe malnutrition within months as families struggle to pay for food in one of the Arab world's poorest countries, the U.N. World Food Programme has warned," Reuters reports. "Political turmoil has pushed Yemen to the brink of a humanitarian crisis and aid agencies estimate half the country's 24 million people are malnourished," the news agency adds (Abdullah/al-Ansi, 7/19). According to BBC News, "The U.N. estimates that 267,000 Yemeni children are facing life-threatening levels of malnutrition and that 10 million Yemenis go to bed hungry" (Antelava, 7/19).
The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in a press release said that "60 percent of children under five are chronically malnourished [in Yemen] -- a rate second only to Afghanistan, where so far this year, more than 200,000 people have been affected by some 300 natural disasters," the U.N. News Centre notes. According to the agency, "the number of people needing [humanitarian] assistance had risen from 51 million to 62 million -- an increase of more than 20 percent -- during the first half of this year" because of food insecurity, conflict, and natural disasters, the news service writes (7/19).

Roadside assistance
State Farm Agent Jeff Warren of Snoqualmie recently played mechanic when he got an emergency call from a fellow agent in Cle Elem.
The Cle Elem agent's policyholders, a school teacher named Cheryl Singer, had broke down with a flat tire on Interstate 90 with a flat tire, but needed to get to Seattle for an important event, right away. The agent had called area towing and tire shops, but couldn't find anyone who could help. "So, they called my office looking to see if I knew anyone who could help," Warren said. "Well, of course I did. Warren helped Singer get of car off the road, changed the tire and took her to Les Schwab for a replacement. Singer made her appointment, Warren said.

At least, that's the scenario the Soldotna High School freshman and her peers acted out earlier this month while testing emergency skills in Sohail Marey's physical education class.
Students in Marey's three freshman classes spent seven periods learning basic first aid techniques including CPR and rescue breathing. The training came at the end of a unit on swimming and basic water safety, where students learned how to rescue others without endangering themselves.
"At the conclusion, we work with the scenario that a person may be hurt and finish the cycle by activating our emergency response plan," Marey explained. "We teach this class in the hope that they're never going to have to do it."
To test their skills, Marey had each student come forward one-by-one and act out a scene with special mannequins.
The students did not know exactly what type of scenario they were entering and had to respond based on Marey's explanation of the scene.
"I think it would be a lot different (in a real emergency). You would panic a lot more," Pankoski said. "But I'm a lot more prepared than I was before this class."
Pankoski's classmate Jessica Steward agreed.
"Before I was in this class, I didn't know any of this stuff," she said.
"It's very much an introduction in the hope they will be volunteering or helping the community in a disaster, if it arises," Marey said. "It's just something I feel very good doing."
Students in the class had the opportunity to apply for Red Cross CPR certification after completin the course.
"Some of them are very proud of it," Marey said. "And I get so much approval from the parents. Every parent gets so excited that their kids are doing that."

COLUMBIA — The Columbia Star Dinner Train is on the tracks in Boone County.
After six months of delays and debate, the vintage train cars pulled into Centralia on Wednesday afternoon, said Mark Vaughn, president of Central States Rail that owns and operates the train.
When service begins, the train will travel between Columbia and Centralia and offer appetizers, drinks and a five-course meal by candlelight. Four restored dinner cars from the 1930s and 1940s will seat up to 224 passengers. The ride will last about three hours and cost $69 per person.
Restoration of the dinner cars was mostly completed before the train reached Missouri. Now, Central States and Columbia are working on parking, bathrooms and ramps for the train on Brown Station Road in north Columbia.
Vaughn said his company was shooting to begin operating the dinner train between April 1 and mid-May. "We'll start taking reservation 30 days in advance of the start up," he said.
As the day of the first run nears, Central States will complete inspections, hire staff, and, finally, start selling tickets.
The Columbia Visitors and Convention Bureau approved $45,000 in June 2010 from the Attraction Development Fund to help get the train from Iowa to Columbia. At the time, service was planned to start in August.
Those plans slowed, and in the fall questions were raised about the lack of access for people with disabilities. Central States said the $175,000 cost of making a vintage rail car accessible to people with disabilities wouldn't work financially. In September, the Columbia City Council approved a compromise plan that approved the tourism funding for the dinner train and required Central States to make one of the cars accessible within five years.
"We, as disability advocates, understand that not every business can be made accessible," Gretchen Maune, chairwoman of the Mid-Missouri Advocacy Coalition, said. "Our main concern is that public tax dollars were used. People with disabilities are taxpayers, too."
"We want to be an all-inclusive attraction," Vaughn said. "In the meantime, we've worked up some plans on one of our existing cars."
This new plan could bring a fully accessible car to the train within 12 to 18 months. Vaughn was quick to point out these plans are preliminary and the engineering is yet to be done.
Since receiving council approval, the cars have slowly been making their way from their previous location in Waterloo, Iowa, to Centralia.
"I think it's very close," Amy Schneider, interim director of the tourism bureau, said on Monday. "I feel safe to say it will be up and running in the spring."

Gold tops Dubai exports, fed by Indian demand, strong market
Gold was on a winning streak as it topped Dubai's exports in the first nine months of last year amounting to Dh45 billion on the back of high demand from India and a bullish market, latest statistics and analysts say. Unwrought, worked and semi-manufactured gold also topped the list of Dubai's imports with Dh58.9 billion from January to September last year, according to Dubai Customs statistics released yesterday.
As an investment haven and a quick way to liquidate assets, gold saw rising demand during this period: Dubai's reputation for the quality of gold, structure for gold trading and tax-free transactions also made the precious metal more attractive, said Pradeep Unni, Senior Relationship Manager at the Dubai-based commodities trading firm Richcomm Global Services DMCC.
"Gold was on the rally up until mid-September and the market was bullish, there was no looking back for trading activity. A lot of people were buying gold for investment purposes and Dubai, being a large trading centre for gold trade historically, had the biggest share of activity," he said "Equity was not doing well and everyone was looking at gold as an option." India emerged as Dubai's top trading partner with exports to Dubai reaching Dh66 billion or 20.25 percent of all other countries. India also came first in imports from Dubai with more than Dh28 billion.
"Indian demand for gold was high in the third quarter. After that the rupee became weaker and exports from Dubai to India declined," Unni said. The fourth quarter of last year could record a slight drop in gold exports from Dubai to India due to the weakened rupee, he added.
Dubai's total non-oil trade, which includes direct trade, free zone trade, and customs warehouse trade, exceeded Dh814 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 23 percent over the same period of 2010 when it reached Dh661 billion.
"The trade values reflect Dubai's pre-eminent position as the regional trade hub. WTO expects world merchandise exports to increase by 5.8 percent in volume terms in 2011. Developed economies' exports are expected to rise by 3.7 percent. "Meanwhile, shipments from developing economies are estimated to increase by 8.5 percent," said Giyas Gokkent, chief economist at the National Bank of Abu Dhabi.
According to the WTO, he said exports have levelled off recently in many developed economies or, in the case of Germany and France, fallen. On the other hand, trade flows of developing economies have mostly remained strong, and year-on-year growth rates for China's trade flows actually accelerated through August. "For the moment, it appears that the trade slowdown is mostly confined to developed economies, especially in Europe," said Gokkent.
The emirate's non-oil direct foreign trade reached Dh523 billion in the first nine months of 2011 compared to same period of 2010, according to Dubai Customs. This was a record figure that was not achieved in the past three years of the economic downturn, said Ahmad Butti Ahmad, the Executive Chairman of Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation, Director General of Dubai Customs.
Free zone trade was Dh287 billion compared to Dh234 billion in the same period last year and the warehouse trade achieved Dh4 billion compared to Dh2.4 billion.
According to recent statistics on direct foreign trade issued by Dubai Customs, the growth in the first nine months of 2011 increased 21 percent (Dh326 billion) in imports, 43 percent (Dh72 billion) in exports, and 18 percent (Dh125 billion) in re-exports compared to same period in 2010.
Top exporters to Dubai after India included China with Dh35.5 billion, or 10.9 percent, followed by US with Dh27 billion or 8.3 percent, Japan Dh12.9 billion or 3.95 percent, UK Dh12.65 or 3.88 percent. In all, the top five exporting countries to Dubai exceeded Dh154 billion which is more than 47 percent. India also came first in imports from Dubai, followed by Switzerland and Saudi Arabia.

What is energy?
relating to physics
2 Answers | Add Yours
Energy is the capacity of a physical system to perform work. Energy exists in several forms such as heat, kinetic or mechanical energy, light, potential energy, electrical, or other forms.According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy of a system remains constant, though energy may transform into another form.
The SI unit of energy is the joule (J) or newton-meter (N * m). The joule is also the SI unit of work
Energy is defined as the ability of one physical system to produce a physical change on another physical system. This energy can take on lots of different forms as it produces this physical change. For example, if I pick a textbook up off my class room floor and place it on the desktop, I have used energy to make this physical change. This also enters into the scientific definition of work, which is a force applied to an object, which results in the object moving some distance. It would be fair to say I did work when I picked the textbook up off the floor and placed it on the desk, because I applied force to the book and moved it a certain distance. This contrasts with holding the book motionless in my hands for 10 minutes. I am still expending energy, holding the book still, because it would accelerate to the floor if I did not exert a certain amount of force on it. But by the scientific definition, I did no work because the book moved no distance.

Mariotti, D (2008) Nonequilibrium and effect of gas mixtures in an atmospheric microplasma. APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS, 92 (15). pp. 151505-1. [Journal article]
PDF - Published Version 262Kb |
The gas and effective electron temperatures have been estimated for atmospheric microplasma by means of optical emission spectroscopy. The results have shown that the microplasma exhibits nonequilibrium and, as its size is reduced, the two temperatures depart from each other, enhancing the nonequilibrium characteristic. The effect of methane and oxygen concentrations has also been studied, showing that gas mixtures have an important effect on the microplasma state. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
